If a decision was made to increase agriculture fertilizer application, which would be an example of a negative trade-off based on this decision? A) excessive nutrients B) farm profits increase C) increase crop production D) consumer prices decrease
Fertilizer application can be detrimental when there is overapplication. The excess nutrients are washed away by runoff after precipitation. These nutrients end up in water bodies and cause algal blooms. Algal blooms asphyxiate aquatic life hence causing a drastic reduction in aquatic populations.
